Simple Manipulation of Worksheet Datasets

There are a couple of simple methods for filling a worksheet column with numbers. The simplest is to use a menu command to fill a column with either row index numbers, uniform random numbers or normal random numbers.

A second, more powerful method allows you to generate the dataset by defining a column formula. These column formulae may reference other columns of values and may incorporate Origin's built-in math and statistical functions, as well as user-defined LabTalk and Origin C functions.
